A soulmate is someone who has locks that fit our keys, and keys to fit our locks. When we feel safe enough to open the locks, our truest selves step out and we can be completely and honestly who we are; we can be loved for who we are and not who we're pretending to be. Each unveils the best part of the other. No matter what else goes wrong around us, with that one other person, we're safe in our own paradise. Our soulmate is someone who shares our deepest longings, our sense of direction. We're two balloons, and together our direction is up, chances are we've found the right person. Our soulmate is the one who makes life come to life.
Richard Bach

Yet, in our hearts we know that lukewarm water will turn cold, mild happiness will become a kind of nameless sadness. Nagging questions: is this the love of my life? Is this all there is? Is this why I'm here? In our hearts we know there must be something more and we long for the one we never found.
Richard Bach

It is by not always thinking of yourself, if you can manage it that you might somehow be happy. Until you make room in your life for someone as important to you as yourself, you will always be searching and lost.

Love's tongue is in the eyes.
Phineas Fletcher

There is no difficulty that enough love will not conquer. There is no disease that enough love will not heal. No door the enough love will not open. No gulf that enough love will not bridge. No wall that enough love will not throw down. And no sin that love will not redeem. It makes no difference how deeply seated may be the trouble. How hopeless the outlook. How muddles the tangle. How great the mistake. A sufficient realization of love will dissolve it all. And if you could love enough, you would be the happiest and most powerful person in the world.

Neil Gaiman

When we hold each other, in the darkness, it doesn't make the darkness go away. The bad things are still out there. The nightmares still walking.

For just a moment or two the darkness doesn't seem so bad.
Neil Gaiman

The giving and receiveing of pleasure is a need and an ecstasy.
Kahlil Gibran

When love beckons to you follow him,
Though his ways are hard and steep.
And when his wings enfold you yeild to him,
Though the sword hidden among his pinions
may wound you.
And when he speaks to you beleive in him,
Though his voice may shatter your dreams
as the north wind lays waste to the garden
For even as love crowns you
so shall he crucify you.
even as he is for your growth
so is he for your pruning.
Kahlil Gibran

Amy Grant

He who has been smitten by the arows of love is no longer afraid of any other wound.
